- the invention resides in a water remediation system adapted for a reservoir of water, the water remediation system comprising an impeller of the type previously described adapted to be positioned to rotate within the water to thereby establish and maintain circulation of the water in the form of a ring vortex.
- the axis of rotation of the impeller is upwardly disposed.

- the applicant has previously disclosed rotors designed in accordance with the principles of nature in U.S. Pat. No. 5,934,877 as well as international publication numbers WO 01/38697 and 03/056139.
- the rotors of each of the embodiments described in those specifications are generally designed in all respects, substantially in accordance with the Golden Section or the Golden-Section-like centre or parts of a volute or other seashell and therefore it is a characteristic of each of the embodiments that the rotor provides a fluid pathway which is of a spiraling configuration and which conforms at least generally to the characteristics of the Golden Section.
- a ring vortex is a mechanism with interesting properties and an example is diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 1 .
- the ring vortex 11 has a doughnut shape with a central funnel region 12 .
- the vortex lines 13 attempt to give an impression of the fluid flow within the ring vortex although it must be appreciated that this is impossible via a two dimensional illustration.
- a smoke ring is an example of a ring vortex. Once established, a ring vortex requires very little energy input to maintain it indefinitely. It also has a flow structure wherein the fluid flow is slowest at the outer perimeter. Thirdly, because of its peculiar, multi-directional flow, it is highly effective and efficient at mixing the fluid. Advantage is taken of these properties in the embodiments described below.
- Each of the embodiments of the present invention comprises a system for inducing within a body of fluid a circulation that follows the path of a ring vortex.
- a ring vortex is nature's preferred, most common, most efficient manner of circulatory flow of a fluid. It is a mechanism that is highly efficient compared with other patterns of flow and has several advantageous properties, as are discussed above.
- impeller that has been found to be particularly suitable shown in FIGS. 2 a and 2 b .
- this impeller is designed in the form of a whorl and comprises an impeller 21 having twin vanes 22 which have a helical configuration with active surfaces 23 and 24 substantially conforming to that of the “Golden Section” and which is adapted to be supported upon a central shaft 25 to be driven by a motor.
- the configuration of the vanes of these impellers correspond to the lines of vorticity of the central or “funnel” portion of a ring vortex and it is this fact that makes such an impeller effective in producing a ring vortex.
- impeller may also be used, such as an impeller with a single vane, or multiple vanes with active surfaces configured substantially in accordance with the Golden Section. These active surfaces may substantially conform to the Golden Section along the X-axis or along the Y-axis or along the Z-axis, along two of the X and Y and Z axes, or along the X, Y, and Z axes.
- the impeller When the impeller is first caused to rotate within a body of fluid, it induces both an axial flow to the fluid and a rotational flow. Initially, the impeller creates a high degree of turbulence as the body of fluid is initially stationary. However, as the impeller is allowed to operate for a little time, the fluid is caused to circulate, as indicated diagrammatically in FIG. 3 . Because the impeller is designed to conform to the natural flow of the fluid, a progressively higher proportion of energy input by the impeller is imparted to the fluid as kinetic energy rather than turbulence as the fluid body accelerates and the fluid is thereby induced to flow in its natural way which is in the form of a ring vortex. Once the ring vortex is established sufficiently, the impeller shows little or no tendency to cause cavitation over a wide range of operating speeds. This is in contrast to a conventional impeller where the operation at a speed above its designed level rapidly leads to cavitation.
- FIG. 4 there is depicted a body of liquid 31 held in a cylindrical tank 32 , the tank 32 being oriented with its central axis vertical.
- a submersible motor 33 having an impeller 34 , the axle of the motor and impeller being substantially co-axially aligned with the central axis of the tank 32 .
- the motor 33 may be conveniently mounted to the base of the tank 35 .
- the impeller 34 is designed so that its active surfaces conform to the Golden Section as shown in FIG. 2 a or FIG. 2 b . Operation of the impeller 34 causes the fluid to circulate as a ring vortex and indicated by the flow lines 36 , as discussed above. If the liquid 31 is a mixture which must be mixed homogeneously, such mixing is achieved efficiently.
- the conventional mixing process requires substantial power to get it started. This requires that the motor be sized accordingly.
- it is necessary to mix large batches of material over a prolonged period, in the order of one month. It has been found that in some cases, if the process is stopped before the completion of mixing, for instance due to power failure, it has been found impossible to restart the process because of limiting start-up inertia.
- the motor is not powerful enough to restart so that the whole batch must be scrapped.
- the other alternative historically, is to fit a larger motor in the first place. Obviously, this results in considerable economic loss.
- mixing by means of the present invention does not require excess power for starting.
- the ring vortex is an energy reservoir. As energy is added, it is stored in the vortex ring. Therefore, at starting, energy is added in progressively, until the ring vortex is functioning at a level such that the energy dissipated in losses in the system is similar to the energy being input.
- a water remediaton system for a water tower of the type used in water reticulation systems for municipal supplies.
- Water towers are widely used by water authorities as a means to provide an adequate supply of water at the desired pressure during periods of peak demand. During non-peak periods, water is pumped by a pumping station, with a portion of the water meeting the demand and a portion being pumped into an elevated water tower. During peak periods when the demand exceeds the capacity of the pumping system, additional supply is obtained from the water tower. It is normal design with such towers for water to be input and withdrawn through the same pipe which is connected at or near the floor of the water storage. However, this leads to a problem.
- pumps or paddle agitators can be used but are far less efficient than this invention as they create turbulent flow instead of a primary ring vortex.
- an impeller 42 of the type described with respect to the first embodiment and driven by a suitable motor is positioned centrally within the water tower 41 , the rotational axis of the impeller 42 and motor being aligned vertically.
- the impeller 42 may be positioned at a relatively low level within the water body so as to be operable without problem when the water level is low.
- a level switch 43 is provided within the circuitry of the motor to isolate the motor when the water level in the water tower 41 drops too low, thereby preventing the motor from operating when the impeller 42 is not covered by water.
- a ring vortex will be established within the water body, ensuring circulation of the water held within the water tower at very low power consumption levels.
- a water remediation and/or maintenance system for a pond such as may be found in municipal parks. It is well known that such ponds suffer fouling due to lack of aeration which results in the death of fish and aerobic plants and the build up of unpleasant mould, fungi, botulism, and mosquito breeding. With a still pond, water stratifies with the cold water remaining at the bottom and the warmer water at the top which accentuates the problems. Attempts to reduce the fouling by aeration or other means have been only partially effective because they do not fully circulate the water but rather rely on diffusion of compressed air into the stagnant lower layers. Because of the stratification, this diffusion is not very successful.
- a pond 51 is provided with a small motor 52 driving an impeller 53 of the type described for the first embodiment.
- the motor 52 is located approximately in the centre of the pond 51 with its axis vertical and the impeller 53 submerged somewhat in the pond water.
- Water circulation is established by running the motor 52 continuously. In doing so, after some time, fluid flow adopts the pattern of a ring vortex. As a result, the pond water circulates and mixes the whole body of water of the pond 51 . The circulation removes the stratification and results in the aerated surface layer being continuously mixed with all other water, thereby providing aeration to the total water body.
- the motor and impeller assembly could be mounted to a stand which also supports a photoelectric panel to provide the power to drive the motor.
- This arrangement could be combined with a battery to provide continuous flow.
- the water will be maintained at a satisfactory quality level in many environments by operation of the impeller intermittently, only when there is sufficient sunlight to drive the motor.
- the motor, impeller and photoelectric panel are supported by a floatation device and the whole assembly moored to the pond floor by a suitable anchoring device.
- a floatation device In another adaptation of the third embodiment, the motor, impeller and photoelectric panel are supported by a floatation device and the whole assembly moored to the pond floor by a suitable anchoring device.
- Such an arrangement would be suitable for a relatively deep pond, where it was impractical to support the assembly from the pond floor, or in a pond in which the level of water fluctuates significantly.
- the many ponds have a shape in plan that is very irregular. Indeed in some cases, the pond may comprise two or more main pools linked by a relatively narrow channel. It will be recognized that in these circumstances, it may be appropriate to operate more than one impellor, positioned to establish more than one vortex. It will be important in such situations to ensure that the vortices cooperate with each other by creation of vortices having correct rotations.
- a further application of the third embodiment is in relation to a fish farm.
- the relatively low water speed across most of the pond, except in the vicinity of the funnel region while providing a high level of circulation and aeration make the embodiment an ideal environment for the farming of fish.
- the impeller expands logarithmically from inlet to outlet and thereby provides the following unique benefits: it will not harm fish and other organisms and does not easily foul from weeds or plastics as other conventional devices do.
- the height and width of the ring vortex can be controlled by adjusting the stagger angle of the impeller.
- a ring vortex can be set up with the axis of the impeller oriented at other angles, intermediate vertical and horizontal. The application will determine the optimum angle.
